UTEIHNEY of these lugs far enough into the recess and up the inclined surface, 1 1:, to support a substantial part of the weight of the rail, so that the rail cannot more in the direction of the arrow, 9, without operating the roller.

[is shown in Fig. 6, the plate, 4:, is formed with an outer end-wall, 18, for the recess, and a coil-spring, 19, is interposed between said wall, 18, and the roller, 13, to hold the roller to its work.

In the construction shown in Fig. 7, the recess, 12, contains a rocker-cam, 20, the lower end of which is convexedand adapted to occupy concaved seat, :21, on the bottomof the recess, 12. This rocker-05m is adapted to the bottom surface of the rail and its higher points are movable 1n the direnew in which the rail tends to creep along a-pat-h intersecting said bottom surface of the rail, making it impossible for the rail to creep in the directlon of the arrow, 9,

without rocking said cam in the same direction, and increasing its contact-pressure upon the under side of the rail until the creeping movement is arrested.

A coilspring, 22, may be interposed between the rocker-cam and the outer endwall of the recess, 12, to hold the cam to its wort; if desired.

By the term roller we mean to include both a ovliudri'fal member and a spherical member.

What we claim asnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent is--- 1. An aiiti-i'aibcreepmg device comprising a tie-engaging member adapted to over hang the foot of the rail and having a por tion extending beneath the rail, and a-member adapted to be confined between said tieengaging member and the bottom surface of the rail adapted to engage said bottom sur-' face of the rail and movable about an axis in the direction. in which the rail tends to creep along a path intersecting said surface.

2. An anti-rail-creeping device comprising'a tie-engaging member adapted to overhang the foot of the. rail and having a recessed portion extending beneath the rail, and a member adapted to be confined within said recess adapted to engage the bottom surface of the rail and movable about an axis longitudlnally of the rail along a path intersecting saidbottom surface of the rail.

and in contact with, said inclined surface and the bottom surface of the rail.

4. An anti-rail-creeping device compris- 111g a tie-engag1ng member having a downwardly offset portion adapted to extend beneath the rail and having portions adapted 5. An anti-rail-creeping device compris-- ing a tieplate having portions overhanging the foot of the rail, and a downwardly offset portion adapted to extend beneath the railformed with an upper surface upwardly inclined toward the body of said plate, and a roller adapted to be. confined between said inclined surface and the bottom surface of the rail.

6. The combination with a railway rail, of a member adapted to' be lined against movement in the direction in which t'he'rail tends to creep and having a surface upwardly inclined toward the bottom' surface of the rail in the direction which the rail tends to creep; anda roller-confined in engagement with said inclined surface and the bottom surface of the rail.

In testimony whereof, we have hereunto set our hands this 30th day of October, 1912.
